Hospitalist: A physician who specializes
in the practice of hospital medicine. Following medical school,
hospitalists typically undergo residency training in general internal
medicine, general pediatrics, or family practice, but may also receive
training in other medical disciplines. Some hospitalists undergo
additional post residency training specifically focused on hospital
medicine, or acquire other indicators of expertise in the field, such as

Well, it didn't take long for orders of Apple's iPad mini to back up.
Just hours after the smaller iPad became available for pre-order Friday morning, the white and silver models sold out. Ship dates for the white iPad mini have been pushed back another week from their original ship date of Nov. 2.
The black model of the iPad mini was still available to ship by Nov. 2, as of CNBC's last check on Thursday morning. (Read More: Apple May Let You Swap iPad 3 for New Model)
Apple's smaller iPad mini was unveiled Tuesday and became available for pre-order early Friday morning. The tech giant released the smaller iPad in an effort to fend off competitors like Google andAmazon, both of which have recently released 7-inch tablets. (Read More: Enough iPad Mini, Apple's Macs Will Also Boost Revenue)
Apple has long dominated the tablet market with its full size iPad, but with competitors offering smaller tablets, the company had to bring a smaller tablet to market. While Apple's iPad mini is a little larger than 7 inches, at 7.85-inches, it is still small enough to be held with one hand.
The iPad mini starts pricing at $329 for a 16GB model and goes up to $529 for a 64GB model. (Read More: Apple's Defense: iPad Mini Priced Higher Because It's The Best )

John Stiegelmeier has built the South Dakota State University football team into a consistent winner in the ranks of the Division I Football Championship Subdivision.
Heading into the 2013 season, Coach Stig has led the Jackrabbits to a 102-76 record (.573 winning percentage). SDSU has posted seven winning seasons in the school's nine campaigns at the FCS (formerly Division I-AA) level, compiling a 60-43 record since moving to the FCS ranks in 2004. Overall, the Jackrabbits have had a winning record in 12 of Stiegelmeier's 16 years as head coach, and have a 27-13 record in Missouri Valley Football Conference games. SDSU has reached the FCS playoffs twice (2009, 2012) under Stiegelmeier's guidance.
After consecutive 5-6 seasons in 2010 and 2011, the Jackrabbits rebounded in 2012 with their second postseason appearance in four years. SDSU finished the 2012 campaign with a 9-4 overall record, tying the single-season school record for wins. The Jackrabbits also hosted — and won — their first-ever playoff game, defeating Eastern Illinois, 58-10, at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium. SDSU was later eliminated by eventual national champion North Dakota State. In 2012, the Jackrabbits were ranked seven of the final eight weeks of the season and ended the campaign ranked 14th in the Sports Network media poll.
The 2009 season proved to be a memorable one as Stiegelmeier led the Jackrabbits to their first FCS playoff appearance and the program's first postseason appearance in 30 years. The Jackrabbits finished as runner-up in the Missouri Valley Football Conference with a 7-1 record and finished the season 8-4 overall. SDSU led for much of its playoff game at top-seeded Montana, before falling 61-48 to the eventual national runner-up Grizzlies. Ranked for the entire season, including appearing in the top 10 for two weeks, the Jackrabbits finished the 2009 campaign with an 11th-place showing in both the FCS Coaches' and Sports Network media polls.
In 2008, the Jackrabbits entered another new era in their Division I pursuits as they joined the Missouri Valley Football Conference. With the transition from Division II completed, SDSU fell just short of a playoff berth in its first season of eligibility, ending the year with a 7-5 overall record and 6-2 mark in the MVFC. Of SDSU's five losses, four came against ranked FCS opponents, including conference co-champions Northern Iowa and Southern Illinois. The team's other loss was at the hands of Football Bowl Subdivision opponent Iowa State in the season opener. That game marked the first time the Jackrabbits had played an FBS opponent since moving to Division I at the start of the 2004 season.
Under Stiegelmeier's guidance, SDSU has appeared in the FCS rankings six of the last seven seasons. The Jacks cracked the national poll for the first time in late October 2006, after posting back-to-back come-from-behind victories over Cal Poly and UC Davis. After climbing as high as No. 19 on the final week of the regular season, the Jackrabbits finished the 2006 season ranked 22nd by the Sports Network.
SDSU began the 2007 season in a preseason national poll for the first time, checking in at No. 20 in the Sports Network poll. The Jackrabbits dropped out of the rankings after a season-opening loss and didn't return to the top 25 until the final poll of the season with a 19th-place showing.
During the 2007 season, SDSU claimed its first conference title since 1963 by winning the Great West Football Conference championship. After starting 0-3 for the second consecutive season, SDSU reeled off seven wins in its final eight games, including a 29-24 victory over previously undefeated North Dakota State the final week of the season, to claim the GWFC title with a 7-4 overall record and 4-0 mark in league play.
The same day that the Jackrabbits won the Great West Football Conference, gifts totaling $6 million were announced for the construction of the Dykhouse Student-Athlete Center, which serves as the home of South Dakota State football. The facility, located in the north end zone of Coughlin-Alumni Stadium, was completed following the 2009 season.
More facility projects are on the horizon as ground will be broken this summer on the $32 Sanford Jackrabbit Sports Complex, which will include an indoor practice facility and state-of-the art training and rehabilitation areas. Plans are also being drawn for a new football stadium to be built at the current Coughlin-Alumni Stadium site.
In leading SDSU to the GWFC title, Stiegelmeier was named conference coach of the year and was honored by the American Football Coaches Association as the Division I Football Championship Subdivision Region 5 Coach of the Year. In addition, he was named as one of five finalists in the FCS for the 2007 Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award.
The Jackrabbits continued to move up the rankings at the FCS level during the 2008 season, reaching the 12th spot in the Sports Network poll after opening league play with home victories over No. 14 Youngstown State and No. 15 Western Illinois in back-to-back weeks. In all, SDSU was ranked seven weeks that season.
After posting back-to-back 6-5 seasons in 2004 and 2005 to begin their Division I pursuits, the Jackrabbits rose another notch in 2006 as they compiled a 7-4 overall record, finishing the season ranked 21st in the final FCS poll conducted by The Sports Network and 22nd in the College Sporting News coaches' poll. Following an 0-3 start, the Jacks rebounded by winning seven consecutive games for the first time since 1963. Three of the victories came in the closing minutes against nationally ranked teams, setting up a showdown with North Dakota State on the final week of the season for both the Dakota Marker and Great West Football Conference title.
Although SDSU fell short in the championship game, the Jackrabbits finished with their most victories since 2003 and their best mark in the three-year history of the GWFC at 3-1.
Stiegelmeier, 56, is the 20th head coach for the Jackrabbits. His tenure of 16 years as head coach is the second-longest head coaching stint in school history.
The Selby, S.D., native first became acquainted with the Jackrabbit football program as a student assistant under John Gregory during SDSU's only other NCAA playoff season in 1979. With the Jackrabbits victory at McNeese State (La.) on Sept. 30, 2006, Stiegelmeier passed Gregory (55-50-3 from 1972-81) for sole possession of second place on the SDSU career wins list.
After graduating from SDSU with degrees in mathematics and physical education, Stiegelmeier enrolled in graduate school at the University of Northern Iowa, where he served on the coaching staff of a Panther squad which posted a 7-4 mark in 1981.
Stiegelmeier coached at Eau Claire (Wis.) North High School from 1981-84, then returned to his home state as defensive coordinator, secondary coach and recruiting coordinator at Northern State University from 1984-87. Northern was 8-3 in his last season with the Wolves and finished fourth in the nation in total defense
Following his time at NSU, Stiegelmeier went back to school, enrolling at the University of Wisconsin, where he was a graduate assistant on the staff headed by Don Morton while working on his doctorate.
Stiegelmeier returned to his alma mater in July 1988, joining Wayne Haensel's Jackrabbit coaching staff as secondary coach and recruiting coordinator. After Haensel stepped down following the 1990 season, Stiegelmeier was elevated to defensive coordinator by new head coach Mike Daly.
In six seasons as defensive coordinator, Stiegelmeier helped guide the Jackrabbits to a 41-23 record. SDSU turned in a winning record in all six seasons, including five seven-win seasons. That track record of success helped Stiegelmeier secure his first collegiate head coaching position in December 1996, when he was named Daly's successor.
The Stiegelmeier era opened in style Sept. 13, 1997, as the Jackrabbits recorded a 17-7 victory at UC Davis. Although SDSU finished Stiegelmeier's first season with a 4-6 record, the foundation was laid for future success. The Jackrabbits posted a 6-5 record during the 1998 season and broke through with an 8-3 overall mark and a 6-3, fourth-place showing in the North Central Conference.
Led by Harlon Hill Award candidate Josh Ranek, SDSU posted its most victories in 20 years in 1999 and was ranked 15th in the final NCAA Division II regular season poll, despite being picked sixth in the NCC race by both the coaches and media. Following the season, Stiegelmeier was named North Central Conference Coach of the Year.
SDSU went on to post upper-division finishes in the NCC three of its last four years before moving into the ranks of Division I-AA (now Football Championship Subdivision) in 2004.

It's the live webcam of the NSC construction site at the Chernobyl NPP. As I'm sure most of you know, the old Soviet-built "sarcophagus" was never meant to be a permanent containment unit for the ruined reactor. In fact, it wasn't even welded together. The steel blocks were simply stacked in place with gravity being the only thing keeping them upright.
The New Safe Confinement program was supposed to come online about 5 years ago, but delays and trouble finding funding (especially with the Eurozone crisis) meant it got put off for some time. But now they're moving ahead! The new shelter will encompass the whole plant allowing them to use robots and whatnot to remotely deconstruct everything, including the #4 reactor, so that it can be decontaminated and safely stored without worry of collapse and further exposure.
Pretty cool!

Awesome! One of my bucket lists dreams is to tour Chernobyl, but I'm sure we've had that convo a million times on here. I love everything Chernobyl related.
Speaking of which-you convinced me to pick up Metro:Last Light a few months ago and I just got around to installing it and playing it. Much improvement over 2033 in my opinion.

The hospital says the Mr. was admitted and received surgery, all right -- cataract surgery to improve his eyesight and it's not their fault."

If everybody who posts questions would only learn the simple thing of being accurate they would come away with more than if they learned 100 theorems.
Yes, the wording was the cause of the problem.
I agree with his answer too. But the only reason that question did not fall in post #7 was because of the omitted words.
Hi bobbym
It can only be considered obvious if one is willing to accept my interpretaion of it as in post #13.
between "from" and "on" there is an important phrase missing. This is the confusion!
How old is this guy? This corresponds to VN grade 9. The teacher forces my grade 6 son to read the grade 9 textbook. Now he can do it. It looks obvious.
Hi Bob;
Second attempt at a diagram.
it was correct.
Ah, I think I have it. 27 and 6 are the distances of on of the points on the circumference of the table. Figured it out from bobbym's equation. Good job on figuring it out, bobbym!
Hi cooljackiec;
r = 51 and r = 15
we reject r = 15 so the answer is r = 51.
hi cooljackiec
Do you agree with Q3?

State House Bureau
The Chelsea woman authorities jailed last week to ensure that she testify against the domestic partner who is charged with attacking her had been contacted by the man after his arrest and met with his attorney.
Robert Robinson Jr.
Contributed photo
Jessica Ruiz, 35, who prosecutors say was savagely beaten for two days in April by Robert Robinson Jr., 45, was held as a material witness in the case for 17 hours, after multiple attempts to ensure her appearance at Robinson's trial failed, said District Attorney Maeghan Maloney.
Maloney's office obtained the arrest warrant, in a rare legal maneuver that prosecutors in Maine said is used only as a last resort.
On Wednesday afternoon, a judge ordered Ruiz released on $5,000 unsecured bail with the condition that she appear at Robinson's trial, which was scheduled for Friday but was continued until next month.
Prosecutors had fostered a relationship with Ruiz through victims' advocates and a local anti-domestic violence organization, said Maloney, the district attorney for Kennebec and Somerset counties.
But Robinson, who has a violent criminal past, contacted Ruiz, by phone and letter, after his arrest in an attempt to influence her testimony, Maloney said. Ruiz even agreed to meet with Robinson's attorney, William Baghdoyen, who confirmed the meeting.
Maloney said Ruiz then stopped communicating with authorities.
About a week before the trial was to begin, Ruiz told her home medical aides that she was going to disappear for a while, Maloney said. Shortly after that, Maloney's office issued the warrant for Ruiz's arrest.
"This is a case where we can't just let the victim decide whether or not a prosecution is going to take place," said Maloney. "It's the option of last resort."
Ruiz could not be contacted for comment Monday.
Lisa Whittier, the lawyer appointed to represent her at a video arraignment last week, told the Kennebec Journal that the incident was "outrageous conduct on the part of the state."
Charges of witness-tampering are pending against Robinson, whose attorney disputed Maloney's account but acknowledged that Ruiz met with him.
While prosecutors can have difficulty persuading victims to testify against their attackers, victims' advocates, attorneys and domestic violence policymakers said in interviews that arresting victims is highly unusual, and may retraumatize them.
"Given that the end result of this action was that the case was continued and she was sent home with a subpoena to return to testify, we need to ask if that subpoena could have been delivered in a less traumatic way than a late-night arrest and incarceration," said Julia Colpitts, executive director of the Maine Coalition to End Domestic Violence. "I'm extremely concerned about any action like this that constrains victims' free choice."
The competing interests of prosecuting an alleged attacker or allowing a victim to walk away from a case -- perhaps only to be killed later by the defendant -- weighed heavily on Maloney.
In Maine, there is no way to be certain of the number of times victims have been arrested as so-called material witnesses in their own cases, Maloney said, but six of the state's eight prosecutorial districts have acknowledged taking that or similar legal steps to compel witnesses to attend proceedings to testify.
Christopher Almy, who has been the district attorney for Penobscot and Piscataquis counties since 1985, couldn't remember doing it.
But other prosecutors have. Todd Collins, who has been Aroostook County's district attorney since 2011 and a prosecutor there since 2002, said he can "count on one hand" the number of times his office has arrested an alleged victim of domestic violence.
He said it would be done in two situations: if authorities can't find a witness to subpoena or if the witness is subpoenaed and skips the defendant's court date.

Heel & Crank Duathlon
Heel & Crank Duathlon
April 11, 2015
3 mi. run / 13.5 mi. bike / 3 mi. run.
Heel and Crank 2014 was a resounding success. Great location, great weather, great post-race food and music and drinks.
If you missed it, check out the nifty race video we made:

Refund/Transfer Policy
Race refunds will be issued with at least 30 days notice. After March 11, no refunds will be issued. We will provide refunds to you in the form of an IMATHLETE credit which can be used for up to one year for any TRTC race.
Important Changes to the 2014 Race:
1) Heel and Crank will NOT be a USAT sanctioned race. We have studied this issue and have concluded that the large number of one day licenses (more than half of all racers) means a large amount of money is leaving our community. One of the key points of hosting and racing locally is that vast majority of that money stays here. This will in no way affect the quality of this race. However, as a side benefit, it will allow racers to have a friend pick up their packets. It will also allow us to have recumbent bicycles on the course.
2) Last year we had a Beginner category. We are removing that category, but adding a "Fat Tire" Category. This will remove any technological advantage from riding a super nice road bike and pit Huffy against Huffy. So, if you're going to be rocking a bike with tires at least 1.5" wide, please sign up. Awards in the category will be three deep (Male and Female).
3) After a good amount of feedback from last year, we will be awarding ALL Team divisions three deep (Male, Female, Co-Ed).
32.6 Mile Challenge
You might have heard about the new half-marathon in Huntsville on April 13th....the day after Heel And Crank. Well, we are joining forces to provide a commemorative mug, with both race logos, to anybody that registers for both races. Sign up for both if you think you can do the 32.6 miles necessary to complete both races. Check it out!
Help Us Donate to the Local ALS Chapter:
The Heel & Crank Duathlon raises money and awareness for ALS (Lou Gehrigs disease). This charity was chosen because of the late Darin Kruse, one of our local triathletes and friend, who recently lost a 3-year battle with ALS. Last year we donated $5,000 to ALSA. I
Your RacePin can be obtained by in two ways:
- Donate $10 to ALSA, either on imathlete.com or by making a cash donation during packet pickup or race day
- Donate 10 canned food items that will be collected and distributed via Help our Homeless Veterans & Citizens of Huntsville
Run 1: Run 1 (3 miles) is an out-and-back course. Approximately 1 mile of the run will be on paved roads through Mooresville with the remainder of the run being on a crushed gravel road running through Wheeler Wildlife Refuge.
There will be one aid-station on the run course at the run turnaround Each turn on the run courses (both courses are exactly the same this year), will be marked with a RED turn arrow sign. RED for RUN.
Run course can be found here.
Bike: You will then enter transition, go to your bike, run it to the mount line, then proceed to enjoy a bike through beautiful East Limestone County. Bike course (13.5 miles) is marked with BLACK turn arrows with volunteers at the major intersections. The bike course is mostly flat, but will have a few "rollers". The bike course will not have any aid stations, but will have sag wagon for any bicycle mechanicals.
Each turn on the bike course will be marked with a BLACK turn arrow sign. BLACK for BIKE. Please pay attention to these signs as we will not have turn workers on course. HPD will be blocking traffic for us at each intersection giving you the right of way over vehicular traffic. Their job is to keep each of you safe from traffic, not to direct you where to turn, so PLEASE pay attention to the turn signs. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the course maps.
The bike course will have mile markers, a small triangular sign on a post beside the road.This is a NO DRAFTING race. You can read that as, this is a race of individual skill, not the "power of the Peloton". Yes, I have a real problem with drafters.
Bike Map course can be found here:
Run 2: Upon completion of the bike portion, you will enter transition (dismounting at the marked line), rack your bike in the exact same location, then head out on run 2, which is the exact same course as the first run.
All parking (specator and racer alike) will be on the Old Hwy 20. Absolutely NO PARKING on Mooresville city streets.
Bike racks are available on a first come, first serve basis.
Please be considerate of your fellow athletes while racking your bike. Don't be a "rack hog", and whatever you do, don't mess with someone else's stuff. If you have issues with someone else and their bike racking, please see the race director and let me resolve any problems.
Make sure ALL HANDLEBAR ENDS ARE PLUGGED. If you have open ends, you will not be allowed on course. There will be bike mount and dismount lines, no riding in transition. Your helmet must be on (properly) and buckled before you get to the bike mount line. It must remain on and buckled until AFTER crossing the bike dismount line.
We will have the award ceremony at the race site this year. Be sure and stay for door prizes!
You must be present to accept your awards, or arrange to have someone pick them up for you. I will not mail awards.
Awards will be given 3-deep in;
- Age groups, male and female (5 year)
- Overall, male and female
- Clydesdale (male over 225 lbs)
- Athena (female over 165 lbs)
- PC (physically challenged)
- Fat Tire (Male/Female) Riding with bike tires of at least 1.5"- PC (physically challenged)
- Male/Female/Co-Ed Relays
Race Lodging
- Stay for $80 a night (tax not included)
- Get complimentary late checkout (2 p.m.) so that you have time to race AND shower before heading home
- All racers will receive a pre-race goodie bag on Saturday morning to help "feed the machine".
- Complimentary 24-hour shuttle service to and from Bridge Street (great if you are racing the Bridge Street Half Marathon on Sunday)
- The attached restaurant and full bar provides a great selection of food and drink for all of your carb-loading needs.
Good luck to all of you, and please remember the cause of this race. We are raising money for ALS patients in order that their remaining days on this planet might be just a little bit easier. Please take a moment to think about the late triathlete, Darin Kruse and what he and his family went through for three long and painful years, and be VERY glad for what you have!
Race hard, and race safe!
Eric Broyles
(race director)

This is the second set of Martha Stewart glitter marker set for me. I love using them on the cards that I make and also shrinky-dink art work too. They are a great maker and have just the right amount of glitter to put a finishing touch on a hand made card.
Used in this layout: Butterflies
These markers add a little sparkle to any product. They are easy to apply, dry quickly and do not dry out when stored properly with caps on. I am only giving this product 3 stars however because the colours depicted on the packaging are not accurate to the colour of the pens.

A Trio of Storage Solutions For the Vinyl Collector, Record Lover
As a recovering record collector who pared down his collection to just a few boxes of records, my need for record storage isn't as dire as it once was. Still, I like to keep my eyes open for shelving and consoles designed with record storage and display in mind, like this beautiful custom made Baltic birch plywood piece made by local Los Angeles furniture designers, WAKA WAKA...
There are plenty of other storage options catering beyond record collections for retail and residence, showcased at the WAKA WAKA Tumblr, with a few available pieces at IKO IKO Space on Fairfax, for you fellow Angelenos.
And if you've already got the shelving, but want to upgrade, there's Rekordit, album door frames designed with the aesthetic record collector in mind. Shane Keaney finished up a successful Kickstarter Campaign and is now selling 2, 4, and 5 frame record display units designed to fit over the popular IKEA EXPEDIT shelving system, providing both a stylish way to display your favorite records, while also protecting the ones stored inside from dust and damage (aka curious cats and Nosy Neds perusing your collection).
(Images: as linked above)
2 Comments
Rekordit is really nice, seems pricy to add this to a bookshelf that costs far less... Either way, quite nice.
I'm always pleased to see a mention of a rare soul record (i.e. Frank Wilson) outside the insular world of record geekdom! But the Northern Soul subculture that has made the late Frank Wilson into an icon and his lone record release into a holy grail for record diggers is built around the 45rpm single, not the long-playing (LP) record, and none of the record storage solutions above are really appropriate for 45's.
I've got my own 45rpm storage solutions, but I'd love to see other people's stylish approaches to protecting and displayed their collections of 45s

M-Su 24hr
Neighborhoods: Boulevard Park, Central Sacramento
Safe, Clean and Comfortable close to Downtown – I am a frequent traveler for both work and play. I enjoyed the easy online booking and welcoming and friendly front desk staff. I normally use Marriott or Hilton but due to why and when I was visiting the Sacto area I chose this Holiday Inn Express. It is very close to Mercy General Hospital and local eateries. I enjoyed in the lobby and fitness room easy access to bottled/filtered water which I refilled my Kleen Kanteen during my stay of 2 nights. The breakfast in the morning is cooked to order, very tasty and abundunt. The entire facility is updated and clean. Being located downtown not once did I feel the facility was dangerous or lacking in security. I will definitely return to this Holiday Inn Express.
Budget-minded travelers appreciate amenities like complimentary breakfast buffet and a kids-stay-free policy. – In Short
Since its 1952 debut in Memphis, Tenn., Holiday Inn has become one of the most recognized hotel brands in the world. In addition to the Kids Eat and Stay Free program, Holiday Inn Express offers amenities like free high-speed Internet access, in-room data ports and cable television. Upgraded showers feature multi-function shower heads, curved curtain rods and upscale bath products.

Among the few winners were investors into the Veda IPO: the shares surged 40 per cent on their first day of trading on the ASX.
Veda provides credit information in Australia and New Zealand and says it has information on 20 million individuals and more than five million businesses.
Veda shares rose 50 cents, or 40 per cent, above their issue price of $1.25 to close at $1.75, with more than 67 million shares changing hands. Veda raised about $341.1 million via the issue of 272.8 million shares at $1.25 each.
Among the blue chips, the banks bore the brunt of today's plunge:
- Westpac: -2.7%
The miners did comparatively well, profiting from another overnight rise in iron ore prices:
- Rio: -0.4%
- Fortescue: +1.1%
Some of the others:
- Woolies: -1.8%
- Wesfarmers: -1.3%
- Telstra: -1.4%
But the biggest loser among the top 200 was Qantas, plunging 11.2 per cent.
The late sell-off, which was the biggest since early August, took the ASX200 below 5200 points for the first time since mid-October.
The sharemarket has closed at the day's lows, with the big banks and Qantas leading a sharp sell-off.
The S&P/ASX200 plunged 75.8 points, or 1.4 per cent, to 5198.0, while the broader All Ords lost 70.6 points, or 1.3 per cent, to 5196.9.
Today's losses wiped about $20 billion off the market's losses.
Nine Entertainment's shares are tipped to make a successful stock market debut but analysts say there are longer term doubts about the company's earnings.
The company, which owns the Nine Network, Ticketek and ninemsn, will list on the ASX at noon tomorrow with a list price of $2.05 per share. That price is at the bottom of the range put forward in the company's prospectus, which analysts say will give its shares room to move higher on Friday.
"The IPO price at $2.05 does give it a bit of room to move on the upside," IG market strategist Evan Lucas says. "I think tomorrow they will probably get away nicely... it should be an okay float."
At its listing price, Nine will be valued at $1.93 billion, making it the biggest initial public offering this year.
Lucas says questions remain about Nine as a long term investment due to the uncertain outlook for free to air television.
CMC Markets chief market analyst Ric Spooner says Nine shares won't be for everyone.
"It's an industry where evaluations should carry a reasonable amount of risk premium and some investors may prefer to steer clear of it altogether."
Australia has sealed a free trade agreement with South Korea that will eliminate tariffs of up to 300 per cent on Australia's major exports, including agricultural products and resources, Prime Minister Tony Abbott says.
South Korea is Australia's third biggest export market and fourth biggest trading partner, with two-way trade totalling $31.9 billion in 2012, and Australian exports to Korea accounting for $21.6 billion.
Abbott said the agreement would open new markets for services and investment, but the statement also noted that some Australian industries, such as cars and automotive parts, may face increased competition from Korean imports.
Australia has been seeking FTAs with trading partners in Asia - including South Korea, Japan and its biggest export market China - which take most of its resources and raw materials.
Gold hasn't been able to hang onto its overnight gains - the biggest jump in six weeks - losing as much as 0.5 per cent to $US1237.28 an ounce.
Prices surged 1.7 per cent yesterday, despite a US jobs report fuelling expectations that tomorrow's official payrolls data may prompt the Fed to start paring its $US85 billion in monthly bond purchases.
''It's come right back up to that major resistance level between $US1250 and $US1255, so we're going to take that as an opportunity to sell,'' says Steven Dooley, head of research at Forex Capital Trading, referring to the level where sell orders are concentrated. ''Quantitative easing and when that is being tapered is still very important'' to the market.
Bit of a change of pace: Executive Style has taken a look at that staple Christmas present for dads everywhere - a bottle of Scotch - and ponders how much you should spend on a good bottle.
Drinks companies are pushing out ever-more-premium and pricey offerings, and sales figures show we are spending more on top-notch hooch than ever before.

And while we're on the topic of Qantas (again), here's Liz Knight's take:
Time is up for Qantas. The government can't fix the commercial disaster that the national carrier faces. The airline is in crisis and in need of radical surgery.
Impeccable as its airline safety record is, from a financial perspective Qantas is careering towards a crash. It has endured numerous external shocks since it privatised in the early 1990s - the bombing of the World Trade Centre, SARS, the global financial crisis and the industrial relations-inspired grounding of the fleet.
But it now faces its first operating loss in the six months to the end of December. The rescue will come with its fair share of pain and dislocation. More than 1000 workers will lose their jobs and costs will be slashed.
But this won't be enough. Qantas is now running cash flow negative and that situation is not sustainable.
Chief executive Alan Joyce needs to raise money. His first port of call was the Government but following an initial flourish of interest from Joe Hockey, the trail to Canberra went cold.
The major talking point in the market has been on the monster drop in Qantas, IG's Chris Weston notes:
- The more cynical fraction of the investment community has often run with the mantra of 'never investing in airlines', and with the stock falling on a guidance downgrade, driven by a host of different reasons, you have to feel this statement is correct.
- The fact is; airlines are in a tough space, and when the AUD falls, the appeal of holidaying domestically increases as well.
- It's interesting to see that in late November there was $52 million of short interest in this name, and that figure before today's open was closer to $40 million.
- Clearly you'd be fairly upset to have covered shorts prior to today's announcement.
It''s not only the local market chalking up losses today, amid growing worries the US Federal Reserve may begin winding down its $US85 billion a month stimulus as early as this month:
- Japan (Nikkei): -0.3%
- Hong Kong: -0.35%
- Shanghai: -0.2%
- Taiwan: -0.5%
- Korea: -0.3%
- Singapore: -1%
- New Zealand: -0.5%
''As people digest the potential impact of the tapering, we're likely to see softer share markets in the weeks ahead,'' says Angus Gluskie, a fund manager at White Funds Management. ''If you're still positive on the longer-term economic outlook, there could be buying opportunities. We're still in a reasonable environment to hold equities.''
It's Question Time in parliament and Qantas is obviously one of the big topics. If you're interested here is the Politics Live blog, and the live stream.

Minerals Council boss Mitch Hooke has criticised the Abbott government's decision to block a takeover of ASX listed Graincorp.
Speaking at the Melbourne Mining Club, Hooke - who was previously head of Australia's grains industry - said he was "not a fan" of the recent decision to block a takeover by American company Archer Daniels Midland.
Hooke said the move would have widespread ramifications, just like previous rulings against foreign investment in entities like Cubbie Station.
Hooke also urged the mining industry not to become too focused on austerity and dividends, saying too much caution could mean that company's miss good opportunities to pick up stranded assets.
He also said the lowlight of his time at the council - which will soon end - was engaging in a $25 million advertising campaign against the Labor government's mining tax
New Zealand has awarded deepwater petroleum exploration permits to Woodside Petroleum and Norway's Statoil, which join other overseas companies already looking to tap the nation's energy resources.
New Zealand has been courting foreign interest in frontier oil and gas basins that have largely been ignored since some early discoveries in the 1970s, as it looks to boost the country's fourth-largest export industry.
The two companies, along with smaller Singapore-based rival Mont D'Or Petroleum, joined local firms and foreign companies already operating in the country in being granted permits for 10 prospects, half of which are in deepwater basins.
Barrick Gold Corp, under fire for a series of missteps in a tough market, has confirmed that its 86-year-old chairman and founder will leave the board this spring, along with two other directors.
In a series of changes following criticisms that the gold mining company's board lacks independence and is too easily swayed by Munk, Barrick nominated four new independent directors. John Thornton, current co-chairman, will take up founder Peter Munk's position, as expected.
"Slowly, Barrick has been ticking off the boxes as it tries to turn this big supertanker around," says Barrick shareholder John Ing, president of Maison Placements Canada. "They have been very successful as far as addressing a lot of the problems. This is quite positive."
The world's top bond fund managers are feeling the pain as nervous investors continue to switch from bonds into equities.
Pimco, the world's largest bond fund run by bond guru Bill Gross, saw clients pull out $US3.7 billion from its flagship Total Return Fund in November – the seventh consecutive month of redemptions.
The $US244 billion fund is now on track to post its biggest-ever yearly outflow after withdrawals totalled $36.9 billion in the year to November. The only other year that the fund suffered cash outflows was back in 2011 when it saw $US4.97 in withdrawals.
But Pimco isn't the only bond fund being punished. Last month, clients pulled out $US811 million from Jeffrey Gundlach's DoubleLine Total Return Bond Fund, which has been outperformed 95 per cent of its rivals over the past three years.
The Qantas saga is set to get more bloody and brutal, Adele Ferguson writes:
Alan Joyce's series of phone calls to the treasurer, minister for transport and opposition leader minutes after issuing a profit warning and flagging 1000 job cuts at Qantas was designed to ramp up the pressure on the government to pull out all stops to help it out and in the process crush its competitor Virgin Australia.
It is a high stakes game that Joyce is willing to fight, just as he did two years earlier in the industrial relations arena when he took the unprecedented step of grounding flights and locked out the many thousands of staff who were negotiating awards.
This time he is playing hard ball in the political bear bit to pressure the government to give him what he wants: access to cheap capital, a review of the Qantas Sales Act and any other advantage that will help get Qantas back on the road to profitability.
He is using the national carrier card to do it and it will be interesting to see just how far the government, investors and the board will let him go.
Some of Australia's most respected stockpickers are doubtful that the wave of initial public offerings witnessed this week marks a return to the heady days of 2007, when investors were overrun with floats before the financial crisis hit.
The flurry has already elicited a warning from the securities regulator, urging companies not to mislead investors with overly bullish financial forecasts.
Fund managers see genuine value in some of the new offerings on the ASX and the mixed performance of floats this past month proves that investors are being discerning about where they put their money.
Eley Griffiths Group co-founder Brian Eley said the market was showing typical early cycle behaviour after "a long period in the wilderness".
"We're early stage in the cycle, we haven't had a bull market for long, probably 12 months, the fact that it's gone
"In 2007 we were at the top of the market and we were at the end of the boom ... 2007 was the culmination of four years of unbroken returns," he added, recalling the "euphoria" of the time.
Poor numbers out overnight from Canadian contract driller, Major Drilling, saw sellers renew their focus on Boart Longyear, pushing it down to new long term lows.
Major Drilling said revenues slumped by more than half in the September quarter, with gross margins falling to 17 per cent from 24 per cent.
This was enough to see Boart sold to 27.5 cents, down another 5.2 per cent and hitting new long term lows, with no end in sight to the fall in drill sector revenue.
Shaw Stockbroking told clients that while Boart has leverage to an uptick in spending, the "depressed macro picture" means there is little reason to hold the shares.
Picked up out of the doldrums by radical policies, known as Abenomics, Japan faces an uphill battle to beat this year's economic performance next year.
One of the great unknowns the country's leaders face is the managing of the increase in consumption tax from 5 per cent to 8 per cent, which is expected to dent consumer spending in the second quarter of 2014.
Japan's gross domestic product growth halved in the third quarter to an annualised 1.9 per cent, down from 3.8 per cent in the second quarter.
However, with the impending rise in consumption tax, growth the final quarter of 2013 is expected to be strong.
''In the near-term, growth is set to pick up as households bring forward durable consumption spending before the consumption tax is raised in April next year,'' said ANZ chief economic Warren Hogan.

Qantas shares have clawed back some of their losses but are still down 11 per cent at $1.065.
The news of the airline's woes has also pushed sharply higher the cost of insuring its bonds against possible default. Credit default swaps soared 25 basis points to 215bp, bringing them close to their highest level since July 17.
Close to rock bottom ... Qantas shares over the past five years.
Here's a quick reaction on the trade balance figures.
TD Securities head of Asia-Pacific research Annette Beacher says while exports to China surged, up 7 per cent on October to a new record high of $9.1 billion, there were bigger falls in exports, especially to Japan:
- The trade balance is still in transition, with the imported component of the mining boom fading but we are yet to see the real surge in exports from all that investment.
- We expect such soggy trade prints for a few more months yet, but will become far more favourable as we head into 2015 and the gas exports flow in earnest.
- From the current level of 3.3 per cent of GDP, we expect the current account deficit to shrink to closer to -1 per cent of GDP by end-2015.
The dollar is on a bit of a rollercoaster ride today.
After the trade data was released at 11.30am, the currency briefly dived towards 90 US cents again, threatening to hit the overnight (and three-month) low of 89.99 US cents, but has since recovered and is currently trading at 90.41 US cents.
The dollar over the past three days.
Veda Group has enjoyed a stellar debut on the ASX after its shares opened more than 40 per cent higher.
Shares in the credit reporting business traded as much as 42.4 per cent above the initial public offering price of $1.25, at $1.78. They are currently trading around $1.64.
Veda provides financial services including credit scoring to its retail and business customers.
The company's listing comes several months before the start of comprehensive credit reporting in Australia next March.
The float helped Veda hit a market capitalisation of $1.05 billion, after the company issued 272.8 million shares at $1.25 a piece.
Fund managers that backed the float include wealth management giant Perpetual and Caledonia.
Picked up out of the doldrums by radical policies, known as Abenomics, Japan faces an uphill battle to beat this year's economic performance next year.
One of the great unknowns the country's leaders face is the managing of the increase in consumption tax from 5 per cent to 8 per cent, which is expected to dent consumer spending in the second quarter of 2014.
Japan's gross domestic product growth halved in the third quarter to an annualised 1.9 per cent, down from 3.8 per cent in the second quarter.
However, with the impending rise in consumption tax, growth in the final quarter of 2013 is expected to be strong.
''In the near-term, growth is set to pick up as households bring forward durable consumption spending before the consumption tax is raised in April next year,'' said ANZ chief economic Warren Hogan.
Australia's trade deficit has widened to a seasonally adjusted $529 million for October, after hitting $271 million the month before, the ABS reports.
Exports remained flat at $27.27 billion while imports rose by 1 per cent to $27.80 billion.
The Australian dollar fell a quarter of a cent on the news. It was trading as high as US90.39c just before the report, but fell to US90.14c.
Analysts polled by Reuters had forecast a narrower deficit of around $375 million.
Here's a bit more on the Australian dollar, which is weaker not just against the US dollar but also against the British pound sterling and the euro.
The local currency was buying 55.11 pence and 66.43 euro cents this morning - levels not seen since mid-2010.
"The hate-fest continues for the Aussie," said Westpac senior currency strategist Sean Callow.
"And that's despite commodity prices. Iron ore's up 1.1 per cent to a high since 15th August. Gold jumped and copper's up 2.6 per cent. There are reasons to be optimistic about the Aussie, but it's yet to show through in price action at all."
The Australian dollar could weaken further if official US job numbers published on Friday US time come in stronger-than-expected.
"The Aussie is one of the favourite vehicles for US dollar bulls, and they did have reasons to be optimistic in last night's ADP payrolls report, and some forecasters revised up their expectations of official numbers [out on Friday]," Mr Callow said.
"The Aussie was a currency that benefited greatly from broad US dollar weakness over the past few years since the [financial crisis], so it stands to lose more than those on any broad dollar strength."
Some more news from Westfield, with the shopping mall giant saying it will buy the remaining 50 per cent interest in New York's World Trade Center for $800 million, which will make the company the sole owner of the shopping mall.
This purchase comes one day after the company announced its plans to separate global retail assets from its Australia and New Zealand businesses, which will then be merged with Westfield Retail Trust (WRT) to form a new company.
The restructuring has been seen as a strategy to focus on the company's growth in US and UK international assets, as traditional Australian retailers are struggling with slowing growth and a shift to online shopping.
Westfield is buying the remaining 50 percent interest from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which entered into a joint venture with Westfield last year.
Despite continued difficult weather conditions in Australia, Nufarm reckons its Brazil unit will continue to perform well, telling shareholders at today's annual general meeting it is looking for a six months to January underlying pre-tax profit of $50-60 million.
If correct, that will be a marked uplift from the $47.3 million earned in the same period of last financial year.
Investors weren't impressed, pushing Nufarm shares down 2.3 per cent to $4.65.
Hills Industries' hopes for an easy and clean sale of its steel processing units Fielders and Orrcon to BlueScope has run into problems, with the competition watchdog, the ACCC, sticking its oar in.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission wants to look more closely at BlueScope's planned purchase of Fielders.
In August, Hills said it is to sell Fielders and Orrcon to Bluescope for $87.5 million following the signing of an "interdependent agreement", signalling the two units go together. The ACCC is concerned, however.
"The ACCC's preliminary view is that the proposed acquisition may raise competition concerns in relation to BlueScope's supply of steel coil inputs to rival downstream roll formers," ACCC chairman Rod Sims said in a statement this morning.
Qantas shares have plunged, falling 16 per cent to $1.02, just shy off the all-time low reached last year.
IPO watch: at midday today, credit services company Veda will join the long line of newcomers to the ASX.
Upon listing, Veda will have raised about $341.1 million through the issue of 272.8 million new shares at a price of $1.25. The IPO fees, at $35.6 million, will amount to more than 10 per cent of the funds.
The firm has forecast net profit after tax of $17.3 million for the financial year 2014, and a pro forma net profit after tax of $63.9 million.
''We hope to provide investors with a stable, resilient investment with opportunities for further growth,'' Veda chairman Helen Nugent said.
Pacific Equity Partners, which together with Merrill Lynch Global Private Equity acquired Veda in 2007, will retain 63.5 per cent of the capital. The private equity owners took full control in 2011.
Some more on Qantas: the airline will also cut 1000 jobs and cut the pay of chief executive Alan Joyce and board members.
The airline aims to save $2 billion in costs over the next three years.
After pleading over the last two weeks for financial assistance from the federal government, Joyce warned in the profit update that the ''challenges we now face are immense''.
Qantas said it now expects to report an underlying loss before tax of between $250 million and $300 million for the six months to December 31.
The airline had provided no guidance previously.
Qantas has warned that it will slump to a loss of up to $300 million in the first half, blaming a market deterioration in trading conditions and weaker return on fares.
The big miners are propping the market up, offsetting losses in the banks:
- Rio: +1.2%
- Westpac: -0.5%
The stock market has opened flat, as more talk of a December taper to the US Federal Reserve's stimulus keeps investors on edge.
The S&P/ASX200 is at 5272.5, while the All Ords is trading at 5267.8, both virtually unchanged.
Sectors, however, are mixed, with materials jumping 1.1 per cent, while financials are down 0.4 per cent.

Billionaire investor George Soros is understood to have bought $6 million to $8 million of shares in Nine Entertainment ahead of the company's $1.9 billion IPO on Friday.
Nine will hit the public market on Friday with a value of $1.9 billion, after pricing at the bottom of the indicative price range in the hope of boosting demand in the secondary market.
The commercial free-to-air television, ticketing and digital business will list at $2.05 - the indicative share price range was $2.05 to $2.35 - with the book-build believed to be covered just under three times over.
The big iron ore miners will remain in focus after a stellar performance yesterday, says IG's Stan Shamu:
- BHP's ADR is pointing up 0.9% to 37.12. Iron ore continues to dumbfound the market, with the spot price moving to $US139.7 per tonne (up 1% on the day), while consensus is maintained at $US120 per tonne.
- This is also the highest level since August. If we look at iron ore in AUD terms, then things look even more compelling for the iron ore miners.
- Gold snapped its losing streak with a sharp rise and this will result in a dead cat bounce for some of the gold miners today.
Wall Street has recorded its fourth-straight day of losses, with the market getting increasingly wary of the Fed tapering its stimulus package.
The Fed has said it would slow its stimulus program when certain economic measures meet its targets, including a declinein the US unemployment rate. The ADP National Employment Report showed private-sector employers added 215,000 jobs in November, more than expected.
This was the latest in a string of reports suggesting that the economy's outlook was brightening.
"Stronger economics means earlier tapering, which is a negative for the market. On top of that, we've surged to new highs with a lot of optimism, and that normally calls for a pullback, if only briefly," said Bruce McCain, chief investmentstrategist at Key Private Bank in Cleveland, Ohio.
"If the decline is mostly about sentiment, we should work through it quickly and be back to seeing better action," he added.
"But the pullback could be more pronounced, the more people focus on the Fed."
The price of gold rose nearly 2 per cent overnight for its biggest one-day gain in over a month, as heavy short-covering and new fund buying more than offset concerns the Federal Reserve may soon exit its bullion-boosting asset purchase scheme.
After sinking 1 per cent to a five-month low earlier in the session, bullion jumped $US25 around midday in New York and briefly broke above $US1250 an ounce despite a better than expected US ADP private-sector job report.
"We suspect the combination of short covering and light macro hedge fund buying may have helped lift the bullion market into positive territory after the ADP report," says James Steel, chief precious metals analyst at HSBC.
The jump in the bullion price is likely to offer some support to struggling local gold stocks, but analysts say the support may only be temporary.
Here's the Warrnambool Daily: takeover target WCB takes another shot at Murray Goulburn, saying it is seeking an active role in the would-be acquirer's merger authorisation process before the Australian Competition Tribunal and intends to appear in the first case management hearing next week.
Murray Goulburn, which owns 17.7 per cent of WCB, submitted its application to the Tribuanl last week and must satisfy the court that the public benefits from the acquisition will outweigh anti-competitive concerns.
Rival bidder Saputo has an agreed bid with the WCB board at $9.20 a share.
The WCB board again urged shareholders to take no action in response to Murray Goulburn's $9.50 a share all-cash offer, claiming it could not respond formally until Murray Goulburn provides WCB with further information.
Westfield Group's decision to split its international operations from its Australian and New Zealand businesses may have excited investors, but ratings agencies are sceptical of the deal.
Ratings agency Standand & Poor's has placed both Westfield Group and Westfield Retail Trust on CreditWatch negative. This follows an announcement from Moody's that it was placing a number of Westfield's assets under review for possible downgrade.
Westfield's Australian shopping centres are considered to be among its best assets and the split would hurt its international business.
''If the restructure proceeds, as planned, Westfield's credit profile would be weaker as a result of the lower asset quality, narrower asset base, and diversity,'' said Moody's vice president Maurice O'Connell.
The Australian dollar slipped below 90 US cents for the first time in three months following a surprisingly strong US private employment report.
In overnight trade, the currency dropped to 89.99 US cents before recovering this morning to 90.30 US cents.
The unit fell more than a cent yesterday in the wake of softer than expected local third-quarter GDP data, and then came under renewed selling pressure in offshore trade after the US ADP (Automatic Data Processing) national employment report for November showed private firms added 215,000 new jobs, which was much better than market expectations of 170,000.
Brown Brothers Harriman currency strategist Win Thin says the news convinced traders the US Federal Reserve may begin tapering its stimulus measures following its December 17-18 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting:
- People are talking about December tapering - that will certainly feed into it and perhaps get the dollar more traction, the US dollar that is.
- The report from ADP, a business outsourcing services provider, is regarded as a precursor to official US non-farm payrolls data for the same month, due out on Saturday morning Australian time.
- Any number above forecasts of 180,000 new jobs could push the Australian dollar to its 2013 lows of around 89 US cents.
- The ADP - it's not always a good predictor of the jobs report, and the market is still more likely to taper during the March quarter of 2014.
